Statue of St. Wenceslas
Statue of St. Wenceslas Review
Josef Václav Myslbek's huge equestrian representation of St. Wenceslas with other Czech patron saints around him has been a traditional meeting place for locals: in 1939 (when Czechs gathered to oppose Hitler's annexation of Bohemia and Moravia), in 1969 (when the student Jan Palach set himself on fire, protesting the Soviet Union's bloody invasion), and in 1989 (when many thousands successfully gathered here and all along the square to demand the end of the communist government).
